Wolfman Enduro Dry Saddle Bags - Saddle Bags Only V1.7 - S501

Not sure if anyone else has had any luck with these bags, but I bought a pair for the Utah BDR this summer and they didn't work out. I have a 2016 KTM 690 and I followed the installation instructions for the bags on wolfman's website, which seemed easy enough. After the first day's ride, I noticed the left bag was pressing against the rear fender and exhaust pipe, to the point where it was starting to melt. I used a heat shield, but it didn't help...spacing is weird on a 690 (can't get one under the affected fender- photos included). I readjusted the bags to stop the melting, but in doing so, the right bag drooped down to the rear wheel (after I sat on the bike) and it ate a hole along the edge of the bag. Usually not a big deal, but the wheel also ate through a $450 sleeping bag. So not only did I lose water proofing for the rest of the ride, but I was left with an absolute mess of a sleeping bag. Not sure if it's a design flaw with the 690 specifically, but I'd recommend using these with pannier racks. They don't really do well strung across the 690 on their own. After I talked to the right person, Wolfman eventually helped me on a replacement bag, so at least that was positive.The straps were also not the best and I had to readjust/tighten them constantly during the ride. My bike was a spiderweb of para coord holding everything together when we were done.
